Abstract

This paper pursues a twofold goal. First goal is to derive new results on generalized differentiation in variational analysis focusing mainly on a broad class of intrinsically nondifferentiable marginal/value functions. Then the results established in this direction are applied to deriving necessary optimality conditions for the optimistic version of bilevel programs, which occupy a remarkable place in optimization theory and its various applications. We obtain new sets of optimality conditions in both smooth and nonsmooth settings of finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces.
